As I mentioned in a previous response, nowadays Xorg gets by without

and uses what it finds. You can configure things yourself but you'll
have to write your own /etc/X11/xorg.conf yourself.

those on an NFS backed filesystem on the NAS downstairs. The rest is on
an SSD (NVMe).
Another point, the grep approach also lists everything below a directory
that matches, whereas the -name approach does not. That may be a lot of
extra junk to scan through d
contents
where you can search for both files and packages.
All that said, these days the Xorg server works quite well without this
file, auto-detecting things upon startup, so chances are you don't have
this file.

After that you can, in theory,

meaning that automatically installed packages that have only a Suggests:

This is completely untested, so if apt-get starts barfing all kinds of
conflicts then I recommend *not* going ahead with this.
If all apt-get wants to do is upgrade and/or add a few packages to make
it work, that should be okay.
Hope this helps,

and use `dpkg -S bin/init` to determine the package(s) that provide it

Me waxes nostalgic and remembers installing Debian from
ository for its out-of-tree driver.
Had to fiddle a little bit to work around Debian<->Devuan issues but it
compiles and works fine otherwise.
IIRC, there is even a GitHub repository for the sources but I haven't

That seems to imply you migrated from Debian to Devuan.
When you migrated, was there anything that might have prevented your
system from keeping a daemon that processes log messages?

Maybe your Debian setup only had systemd install
formance hiccups with RancherOS based
nodes of my Kubernetes clusters. While I'm okay with digging into the

On Beowulf, a `man apt` gives a manual page dated 2019-01-27. If you
didn't install man-db and/or are looking for on-line manual pages, try

I'd cluebat those folks about the CLI first ;-)
Using adduser/deluser and addgroup/delgroup isn't exactly rocket science

If they don't get that, then they probably shouldn't be adminning users
